NAME
----
git-ls-remote - List references in a remote repository
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git ls-remote' [--heads] [--tags] [--refs] [--upload-pack=<exec>]
[-q | --quiet] [--exit-code] [--get-url] [--sort=<key>]
[--symref] [<repository> [<refs>...]]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Displays references available in a remote repository along with the associated
commit IDs.
OPTIONS
-------
-h::
--heads::
-t::
--tags::
Limit to only refs/heads and refs/tags, respectively.
These options are _not_ mutually exclusive; when given
both, references stored in refs/heads and refs/tags are
displayed. Note that `git ls-remote -h` used without
anything else on the command line gives help, consistent
with other git subcommands.
--refs::
Do not show peeled tags or pseudorefs like `HEAD` in the output.
-q::
--quiet::
Do not print remote URL to stderr.
--upload-pack=<exec>::
Specify the full path of 'git-upload-pack' on the remote
host. This allows listing references from repositories accessed via
SSH and where the SSH daemon does not use the PATH configured by the
user.
--exit-code::
Exit with status "2" when no matching refs are found in the remote
repository. Usually the command exits with status "0" to indicate
it successfully talked with the remote repository, whether it
found any matching refs.
--get-url::
Expand the URL of the given remote repository taking into account any
"url.<base>.insteadOf" config setting (See linkgit:git-config[1]) and
exit without talking to the remote.
--symref::
In addition to the object pointed by it, show the underlying
ref pointed by it when showing a symbolic ref. Currently,
upload-pack only shows the symref HEAD, so it will be the only
one shown by ls-remote.
--sort=<key>::
Sort based on the key given. Prefix `-` to sort in descending order
of the value. Supports "version:refname" or "v:refname" (tag names
are treated as versions). The "version:refname" sort order can also
be affected by the "versionsort.suffix" configuration variable.
See linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1] for more sort options, but be aware
keys like `committerdate` that require access to the objects
themselves will not work for refs whose objects have not yet been
fetched from the remote, and will give a `missing object` error.
-o <option>::
--server-option=<option>::
Transmit the given string to the server when communicating using
protocol version 2. The given string must not contain a NUL or LF
character.
When multiple `--server-option=<option>` are given, they are all
sent to the other side in the order listed on the command line.
<repository>::
The "remote" repository to query. This parameter can be
either a URL or the name of a remote (see the GIT URLS and
REMOTES sections of linkgit:git-fetch[1]).
<refs>...::
When unspecified, all references, after filtering done
with --heads and --tags, are shown. When <refs>... are
specified, only references matching the given patterns
are displayed.
